Adelaide United: Tonight it's historic

When Celtic became the first British team to win the European Cup in 1967 with all 11 players born within 30 miles of the Stadium, we beat Inter Milan 2-1 btw after being a goal down, it marked history. I still mention it today to all my EPL fans:)

Man United, Liverpool or even Notts Forest have never been able to take that title the away from us.

Tonight Adelaide United have the opportunity to be the first Aussie club ever. It'll be remembered 50 years from now if they can achieve it.

And Aurelio said this is as important as the Socceroos Uruguay game. I believe him even if the rest of Australia don't...yet.

In our fourth year of competition, our second year of the Asian Champions League an Aussie club is in the final.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and FIFA President Sepp Blatter will fly to Adeldaide for the second game.

The significance of the occasion has not been lost on those at the highest level, with the broadest view. Only many Aussie media outlets still struggle to deal with the code, and the "uninteresting" opposition.

Tonight will be United's hardest game. Just ask Melbourne who demolished home and way by Gamba earlier in the season.

But for Australia it will be our biggest club game ever.

How many people have ever watch an AFL Grand Final. 4 million?

In Japan alone the game will surely top 10 million and then there's Brazil, Europe and Asia all with an interest...and don't forget the 100,000 pat tv viewers in Oz.

Football's journey continues, and the United journey has been extraordinary.

It will be a great occasion, don't miss this one. Fox circa 8pm.
